Their line of coffee candy includes regular Coffee Candy and Latte Candy, but I will be reviewing their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb%5Fsb%5Fnoss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dbali%2527s%2520best%2520espresso%2520candy%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&#038;tag=iheartcandies-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957">Espresso Candy</a>.  Bali’s Best Espresso Candy is made with real Sumatran Coffee from Java, Indonesia.  Just like the tea candy, there are 42 individually wrapped candies each containing 3 milligrams of caffeine.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-espresso-candy-21.jpg" rel="lightbox[1124]"><img src="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-espresso-candy-21-250x167.jpg" alt="" title="balis best espresso candy 2" width="250" height="167" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1175" /></a>These brown Espresso candies are round, but wider versions of the tea candies.  The wider shape allows these candies room to have a soft, espresso filling.  After trying some, I have to say they are pretty good.  With 100% natural ingredients, they taste like real coffee.  In fact, they taste like the type of coffee I enjoy, where the coffee is really strong, but sweetened with sugar.  The inner espresso filling is gooey and not so great texture-wise if you bite into the candy.  While I think the candy would have been great even without that extra espresso filling, it definitely makes this candy different.</p>
<p>This Espresso Candy is a must try for coffee lovers out there.  Minus the caffeine kick you get from drinking an actual cup of coffee, I actually feel like I just drank some coffee.  So much that I even have that lingering coffee breath =D</p>

They are all infused with real green tea extract grown in Java, Indonesia.  Now, as an avid tea drinker, green tea just happens to be my favorite =D</p>
<p>This tea candy unfortunately doesn’t come in one bag with all three flavors, so I ended up buying three separate bags.  Each bag is about $2 and has 42 individually wrapped hard candies.  There is caffeine in each candy, but it only amounts to a mere 3 milligrams.  It would take you 20-25 pieces to equal one cup of coffee.  So those who need a quick caffeine fix, these tea candies are not the way to go.  Now on to how it actually tastes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-tea-candy-classic-iced-tea.jpg" rel="lightbox[1100]"><img src="http://www.iheartcandies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/balis-best-tea-candy-classic-iced-tea-250x167.jpg" alt="" title="balis best tea candy classic iced tea" width="250" height="167" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1108" /></a>I started with what sounded like the most basic flavor – the Classic Iced Tea.  Looking at the round, brown hard candy, I wasn’t really sure what to expect.  When I popped one into my mouth, I was happy to find that it tasted exactly like any typical iced tea you would order at a restaurant.  I usually like my iced tea without sugar, but Bali’s Best Classic Iced Tea Candy comes already sweetened with sugar.  However, the sweetness of it does not take away from the delicious flavor of the tea.  Just like the flavor name, it merely tastes like classic iced tea.</p>

This candy looks exactly like the last one, but green.  My first taste reminded me of lemon tea with honey.  I was disappointed to find that I could not distinguish the green tea flavor. To me, it tastes like Bali’s Best Classic Iced Tea with a lemon flavor that I am not too fond of.  I would have much preferred a more pronounced green tea flavor without so much of the lemon taste.</p>

Similar to real lattes, this Green Tea Latte candy contains milk.  Yet again, I could barely taste the green tea flavor after eating one.  Trying really hard to pick the green flavor out, the “so close, but yet so far” phrase comes to mind.  Regardless, I have to say the flavor is actually quite good.  Although it is a tea candy, it is a step away from tasting like coffee. </p>
<p><strong>Green Tea Latte -</strong> <strong>Rating:</strong> 4 out of 5 stars</p>
<p>Bali’s Best Tea Candies are all pretty good.  If it were up to me, I’d leave the Classic Iced Tea flavor the way it is, but change the other two flavor names to Lemon Tea and Milk Tea.</p>
